Independent Studies

Independent Study may be coordinated through the Counseling Office when extenuating circumstances do not allow the student to take the class as scheduled. Students must obtain written approval from the principal, counselor, and instructor. Independent Study courses will NOT take the place of core graduation requirements, AP courses or World Language courses. In order to earn credit in a course taken through the independent study option, a student must be under the supervision of a teacher. The student must have successfully completed a minimum of 60 hours (as verified by the instructor) of class work for .5 credits, or have completed a minimum of 120 hours for 1.0 credit. An Independent Study Application, available through the Counseling Office, must be completed, with all required signatures, prior to the semester in which the student plans to take a course via independent study. Independent study students will be graded on a pass/fail basis.
